Had the chance to attend the Border-Showdown 2007 (a HUGE shout out to my friend for the seat!). A HUGE game for the Big XII North. A HUGE game for MU & KU.
Final score? 36-28 MU.
A few "thots:"
- We sat on the lower level, 10 rows back…AWESOME seats. Never sat once. (No one on the lower level did.)
- Right before the game, I put the "Over-Under" at 65-70. It was 64. (Ok, I know I picked a range & I was off, but not by much.)
- I only saw 1 near-fight all night — too much "liquid courage" in their blood stream. I’m guessing they were "alcohydrating" all day with the 7p kickoff.
- Speaking of "liquid courage," 1 lady spilled beer all over my coat & another guy left the aisle 15 times during the game (no exaggeration).
Congrats to both teams. They are both great teams & played great.
Here’s the $10,000 question. Are there any KU fans who will pull for MU in the Big XII Championship Game next week?
NOPE….not me!
This will be my first time cheering for Oklahoma.
Hey, I forgot to ask….Who did you cheer for?? REMEMBER: You a in a “Small Group Divided”. 🙂
I cheered both. But I was pulling for Mizzou because (1) I was raised there, & (2) the person that invited me was rooting for them.
To show how many games I’ve never attended, I actually heard my first “M-I-Z…Z-O-U” cheer.
The “Trash Talk” is interesting to watch. It’s amazing how people seem to get brave at the end of the season. I guess I never knew there were so many Mizzou fans out there until this week.
